New Legend of Zelda : Breath of the Wild footage

Ahead of Nintendo’s big NX reveal, the gaming giant has provided some new footage of upcoming Legend of Zelda title, Breath of the Wild.

Breath of the Wild has a 2017 release date in Europe, having seen a number of delays since the game was announced as a WiiU title. It will now be both an NX and WiiU game when it eventually hits stores.

The title will feature an open world environment and other gameplay elements that constitute a departure from the series’ conventions, including an advanced physics engine, as well as the ability to play through the game’s dungeons in any order.

The game supports multiple Amiibo figurines that can alter gameplay. Wolf Link Amiibo summons Wolf Link as a partner character that helps Link battle foes. Wolf Link carries over the number of hearts that are saved onto the Amiibo after playing through the Cave of Shadows in Twilight Princess HD.

Nintendo will reveal its new console, codenamed NX, later this afternoon. Breath of the Wild is one of the few confirmed games that will be available.
